  • Confirmed Guest

    Good holiday.Coyles cottage had everything we wanted.

  • Confirmed Guest

    The cottage was comfortable once you got in. It is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as there are 2 steps into the cottage and a very unsuitable mat had been placed on the first step. Also the bottom shelf of the wall cupboards was very high and difficult to reach unless you were over 6 feet tall. Nice sunny garden and very safe for a dog or small children.
